The timing! The timing. Wow. Just wow. These songs are almost impossible to reproduce live. Yet they do it with ease and grace. Just wow. Saw them three times in the eighties. Every time was a revelation. Seriously.
I'd be very impressed to hear anyone else, even a Yes tribute band, accurately have half the group playing in 7/8 and the other half in 7/4, simultaneously, as they do in the instrumental break. Then Howe starts going off entirely on his own towards the end, and finally they bring it all back together! Incredible concentration, and grooves too! My left brain is very impressed! ;-)
One of the greatest songs, the progression of the song gives me goosebumps, a masterpiece by YES, on one of the greatest albums of all times YES Album.
@@EidolonMedia indeed… despite the fact that the lyrics are about a very particular time in history. “…saying we have the moon, so now the stars…” is a direct warning about man’s technological hubris in the wake of the Apollo missions (which were taking place when the song was written). Cheers!
If first saw Yes perform live at the Boston Garden in May 1979. It was my first concert and I was blown away. They did all the songs from Fragile, YesSongs, Going for the One, Perpetual change, Starship Trooper, Yours is No Disgrace and Round About. I say them again in the 1980's and Jon Anderson in 1990's. They are remarkably talented and wrote songs to push the limits of what they could do, make music mastery, not make pop songs. Forever in my heart - Yes!
Damn I miss Chris Squire. He was my favorite bassist...ever plus those incredible vocals and writing skills and live talent. Ugh. His extensive body of work is practically a bass guitar lesson.
The guitar solo in Perpetual Change on the Yessongs album was stunning. And, And You and I, with Rick Wakeman coming in at the end of Steve Howe's pedal steel guitar never fails to give me goosebumps (aural orgasm).
I think this is one of Steves most wonderful performances, so much rich an moving musically, maybe just comparable with the song on the album of `yessongs` ! Oh that guitarpart !
I saw Jon Anderson 3 years ago with Rabin and Wakeman performing the Greatest of Yessongs, Anderson sounded nearly flawless and the show was absolutely brilliant! Boston
Been fascinated by this song since '71 when I was 16. Howe makes that big ES 175 probe our innermost emotion. Just one of many astonishing pieces on The Yes Album. Squire also a pioneer with the Rick O Sound. Anderson's voice ... :)
9/10 for effort, and 9/10 for achievement, but this is NOTHING like the Yes that I saw play this live in 1971. There is something about raw energy and youth (theirs and mine) that made that time very special.
Was there. So fabulous. Such a magnificent group of talented artists. God bless them all! Thank you Yes for such great music and so many memories. Onward!
I listened to Yessongs countless times when I was 15. I also got to see the original lineup in concert at Merriweather Post Pavilion, Columbia, MD, August 05, 1989. Yes is phenomenal!
Fenomenali in studio, stratosferici dal vivo.La loro Musica è Arte allo stato puro.Chris, Steve, Jon sono musicisti dal talento naturale, nessun gruppo pop-rock possiede la loro straripante vena compositiva che non deborda mai verso l'uso della tecnica strumentale fine a ...se stessa. Rock On!
Tecnicamente perfetti, condensano stili senza scadere nella ovvietà, Yes restano imbattibili e originalissimi nel sound....Chi ha orecchie per intendere...
Would you believe it if I told you that Joe Pesci has a few albums out? No kidding. He's a guitar player too and was once replaced in a band by...I kid you not...Jimi Hendrix.
I came over from Secular Talk to listen to this and my comment followed me! Maybe the NSA is after me! God, I love me some YES. I don't know which one is my favorite, since they have so many that I just float off to my memory land. I wonder how many headphones that I pushed just a little too far (Don't do this at home, kids). This song has been played how many thousands of times and they seek the subtle variation to add some musical gem. I will come back for more.
I have not heard the new Yes, the only ones there are Steve and Alan Without Jon and Rick it's not Yes. I'm sorry. I got to see A R W at The Gard Rock Hollywood on Oct 12 Jon still has the voice of angels Rick is the best alive after Kieth passing Rest In Peace Chris. We miss you
The best music will live forever and I'm hoping for it to be well played live forever too - then there will always have to be replacements for the ones retiring/passing. And there will always be worthy and willing musicians - both recreating and developing music, that's our hope for the future!
the keys are great! there is so much going on in this song - you got to stop and listen to him play, or try to focus on him I mean, if you can - amazing.
Gosto muito desta música mas gostaria muito de ouvir A Venture ao vivo essa música tem um andamento muito bom quem tiver poste para alegria de uma fã inveterada.🍄
I will always believe Rick Wakeman is the best all around keyboardist in history , I subscribed to Rick's YT channel , this is where you can hear Rick play solo after solo of about everything ,song after song of Yes and other artist music , flawlessly.
This group (YES) produces the sound closest to a studio version I have ever heard. The original lineup anyway. And Steve Howe looks like Billie Bob Thornton.
I saw Yes live quite a few times from 1997 to 2004. I might be biased because I was in attendance, but I honestly feel like some of the band's best live work ever was performed within that time frame -- especially in 1997 (on the Open Your Eyes tour), and in 1999 (on The Ladder tour).
Totally agreed! I saw Yes well over a dozen times between 1997-2004; they were as good as any time in their career during this period. Sad how t just fizzled out. Sigh
Yes masterworks tour saw San Diego good show thay played topographic my friend went asleep I went nuts saw yes 27 times the best 77-80 89 abwh and all 3 SLO shows keys
Wow id of give anything to be on stage next to Chris like the guy with the 12 string , Sherwood is it , ? But can you imagine !!! I was getting goosebumps watching this , oh well I can dream , as Chris has gone , and over 45 years of listening to YES I still cant get round my head that Chris has gone , its still painfull 2 years later
Currently doing the Yes Live Marathon here on youtube. Howe is a big influence. But I suddenly realised something.. I was amazed by the lack of the " Yes purists" ! Quite nice not seeing " This is Not Yes! NO Bruford NO Kaye This Is NOT YES!" For the record, all line ups are great. Drama IS a great album! Long Live Yes!
Look at my comment above; What they did. with Mr. White's co-operation, was be faithful to the the studio version AND embellish. Who is the guy to the left of Mr. Squire? Drama IS a great album--"to be assured, you draw a graph."
@@magicalmystery1964 Well, is it true that Mr. Squire expressed--in words captured by film or video--that HE would like Yes to continue in perpetuity, that is, after the demise of founding members? I have a vague memory of SEEING such video. Many claim that he DID say such a thing. Have YOU seen/heard such a thing?
@@scherado01 The guy to the left of Chris is a young Billy Sherwood. The YES bass player now. When Chris new he was dying it was his wish that Billy take over the bass position. Billy Sherwood is a very talented multi Instrumentalist. Also produces. Chris Squire wanted YES to continue.
I am impressed by my younger self. Young silly teenager but knew this was true talent in the 70's. My favorite band.
You are absolutely right... and yet, Igor Koroshev cannot keep pace with Rick Wakeman's keyboard performance (please listen to the YESSONGS version).
Ditto, I couldn't make head nor tails of the lyrics but I knew they were heavy and the musicianship spoke for itself
@@maryelliott4564 I think you should be - great taste then and still have it!
Not a shredder alive who can touch Steve Howe. Period.
I agree, 110%.
Likewise, there isn’t a bassist alive who can touch the fish.
The timing! The timing. Wow. Just wow. These songs are almost impossible to reproduce live. Yet they do it with ease and grace. Just wow. Saw them three times in the eighties. Every time was a revelation. Seriously.
Could not have said it better.

Steven Franey the timing just perfect and relaxed.
Buddy of mine always talked about how tight this band was.
Yes! Those poly-rhythms. Two different meters at the same time. Incredible! Love these cats!
One of the greatest songs, the progression of the song gives me goosebumps, a masterpiece by YES, on one of the greatest albums of all times YES Album.
Definitely. Probably my favourite Yes album.
More relevant than ever.

I appreciate their music more now than I ever did........
Damn I miss Chris Squire. He was my favorite bassist...ever plus those incredible vocals and writing skills and live talent. Ugh. His extensive body of work is practically a bass guitar lesson.
Wow I will always love rock n roll you’re never too young or too old😎
As truth is gathered, I rearrange - that is a prescription for the survival of a species. Thank you Jon, for seeing this so many years ago.
Having Chris there is imperative for this great tune. his backing vocals and bass.
Yes, Chris Squire is one of the best rock bassists of all time, but his back up vocals are up there with the best ever as well. Rip Mr Squire.
Chris played with his own style. My appreciation has really grown over the years.
And then there’s his stature. Wearing that huge lab coat looking thing he looks like a gigantic, larger than life Doctor of Rock Bass.
YES fan of over 50 years. This was a great tour. The Ladder was a very good album. So sad the producer of it passed away shortly after. FOREVER YES!!!
One of my favorites too. The yessongs album version still blows me away with headphones on.
Amen, preacher ....
The interplay between Howe and Squire in the instrumental section between the last of the vocals and the beginning of Bruford's drum solo is pure joy.
No clue how I’ve never come across “Yessongs” before this comment!! Thank you, a thousand times over!!! Bliss!!
The guitar solo in Perpetual Change on the Yessongs album was stunning. And, And You and I, with Rick Wakeman coming in at the end of Steve Howe's pedal steel guitar never fails to give me goosebumps (aural orgasm).
An astonishing performance. The timing is incredible.
They take me on an inner journey and show me a places within myself I never knew existed.
It sounds kind of corny but that’s exactly how I feel.
Saw YES, At least 30 times. Tales of Topography Oceans.
1974, Madison Square Garden
Awesome
Majestic music. We shall never see it's like again.
What a great band not all original but damn close. Jon Anderson can sing like no one else. And Chris Squire's harmonies are just beautiful.
The music that we witnessed that will live forever!
Doesnt get any better than this.
Well, it could be Roxy Music...
@@kookoothebirdgirl1 you're not wrong there.
Undoubtedly one of the masterpieces of YES!
no other band like Yes. ever !
Up until 75, their albums supported me and after that I supported them
Holy Bleep!! That was spectacular! Mr. White got it right!! ... and it's so ..... to see Mr. Squire. I don't really have the words.
Jesus this is such an epic song by such an epic band.
RIP Chris Squire
I think this is one of Steves most wonderful performances, so much rich an moving musically, maybe just
comparable with the song on the album of `yessongs` ! Oh that guitarpart !
He sounds exactly like he did in 1971
Steve howe guitar hero hes beyond amazing player!
Man: Will there be music in Heaven?
God: YES!
and he's got one hell of a band !
With the voice of Jon Anderson certainly.
Amen brother!
Without a doubt , simply the best....each individually overwhelmingly blessed to be simply the best....yes,...that's yes .
I saw Jon Anderson 3 years ago with Rabin and Wakeman performing the Greatest of Yessongs, Anderson sounded nearly flawless and the show was absolutely brilliant! Boston
This is my favorite Yes concert video number. The performance is just breathtaking.
My favorite Yes Song!
It's got to be up there.
Been fascinated by this song since '71 when I was 16. Howe makes that big ES 175 probe our innermost emotion. Just one of many astonishing pieces on The Yes Album. Squire also a pioneer with the Rick O Sound. Anderson's voice ... :)
This sounded incredible at last night's ARW show, Jon's voice is still solid!
cygnetseven And it still sounded incredible 3 days ago (2018!) with ARW, Jon's voice is amazing!
9/10 for effort, and 9/10 for achievement, but this is NOTHING like the Yes that I saw play this live in 1971. There is something about raw energy and youth (theirs and mine) that made that time very special.
Saw them in 1976 in Chicago with Gary Wright, Peter Frampton and Lynard Skynard it was epic
I think I saw you there😂😂 Hawthorne Race Track
You sure did that was me lol lol
I always forget about this lineup. Igor was so damned good. Billy was great as usual.
Master Steve Howe on guitar !
And there you are! Groovin to the best musicians.
Jon, you are the LIGHT☮🌅 Thank you for always being you!
Was there. So fabulous. Such a magnificent group of talented artists. God bless them all! Thank you Yes for such great music and so many memories. Onward!
Brilliant prog from the best musicians and harmonic lyric mastery. 5 times and always stellar.
Awesome awesome awesome!!!!!
That voice is kickin my ass too-
Y'all eternally rock-
Absolutely YES❤
Got into yes in 1972 ..love this band
another amazing performance
I listened to Yessongs countless times when I was 15. I also got to see the original lineup in concert at Merriweather Post Pavilion, Columbia, MD, August 05, 1989. Yes is phenomenal!
I was there, so happy to be and hear them playing these older tunes.
Yes, I have this House of Blues DVD. It may be their best and Igor Khoroshev was great on keys even playing a ride cymbal during Round About.
I'll go to my grave ...screaming YES!
Nunca pasará de moda la música bien hecha
I so miss YES.... One of my bands growing UP.. In the round that I hold dear to my heart!💖#Forever
I also saw Yes in the round - GREAT!!!
Degenerated to a band performing Pop Music (Heaven & Earth, for instance)
*Jon Anderson.... Incredible performance.*
My all time favorite YES song, which is apply named!
yes
For Gigi! I miss you Sweetheart. God Bless You.
Steve howe so incredible on 🎸 what a talent
I concur
Seen them 3 times. Always superb.
Saw them 7 times.............
Mr.ジョンアンダーソンの声質は 他の歴代YESボーカリストにはない、ロックンロールの凄みと綺麗ながらも内に秘めた荒々しさを感じるぞ。
I really wish I would have had a chance to meet Chris in person. I met Jon once many years ago and he was really cool.
This is just beautiful, I love it ! I only wish Bill Bruford could have joined them for this set .
And Rick Wakefield.
Congrats to Yes for being inducted to the Hall of Fame
I saw this concert in London, it was brilliant!
Saw Squire and Yes 36 times. God miss them however thanks for this great vid. 🙏
Great song, performance and mix… Great rock sound.
There music is very deep and technical for sure
Fenomenali in studio, stratosferici dal vivo.La loro Musica è Arte allo stato puro.Chris, Steve, Jon sono musicisti dal talento naturale, nessun gruppo pop-rock possiede la loro straripante vena compositiva che non deborda mai verso l'uso della tecnica strumentale fine a ...se stessa. Rock On!
Tecnicamente perfetti, condensano stili senza scadere nella ovvietà, Yes restano imbattibili e originalissimi nel sound....Chi ha orecchie per intendere...
One of my favorites. This is how Joe Pesci would sound if he could sing. One of Yes's best IMO.
hahahahahahahaha i've never had thought about it before! haha
Haha! Incredible :)
Would you believe it if I told you that Joe Pesci has a few albums out? No kidding. He's a guitar player too and was once replaced in a band by...I kid you not...Jimi Hendrix.
Without Pesci, there’d be no Four Seasons.
Amazing! Just amazing😢 That’s painful to know that our best bands and musicians are leaving this world one after another.....
Yes, des héros de ma jeune jeunesse ! Toujours musicalement crédibles, surtout aujourd'hui...
I love this tune above many more!!
I can certainly pick up what you're laying down. Love almost everything done regardless...I have only seen them five times admittedly.
studio quality!
I came over from Secular Talk to listen to this and my comment followed me! Maybe the NSA is after me! God, I love me some YES.

The Yes Album!!!!
Fantastic.
AWESOME song i 💘 YES! Brilliant song!
I have not heard the new Yes, the only ones there are Steve and Alan
Without Jon and Rick it's not Yes. I'm sorry. I got to see A R W at The Gard Rock Hollywood on Oct 12 Jon still has the voice of angels Rick is the best alive after Kieth passing
Rest In Peace Chris. We miss you

Now that's what I'm talking about!
so happy YES made rock n roll hall of fame, missing Chris Squire though!
Beauty and style forever. Come get you some!
Good old Igor on keyboards!
the keys are great! there is so much going on in this song - you got to stop and listen to him play, or try to focus on him I mean, if you can - amazing.
And yet, Rick Wakeman's performing of 'Perpetual Change' on YESSONGS is unsurpassed still.
Proper musicians.. the whole lot of them..that's all I gotta say really........
It encouraged to think deeper and act wiser.

I saw Yes twice in 2002 and those were 2 of the best concerts I have ever seen.
Yes were technically amazing such great band
My favorite YES song.......
One of my favorites.................
